WESTPORT -- In the moments after propelling Staples past the 50-point barrier for the third time this season on Friday evening, junior quarterback Jack Massie was approached with the question that opposing defenses are still trying to answer.

Just how do you ground Staples' offense?

Massie, twirling a football in one hand and his helmet in the other, fashioned a slight smile and chose not to spill any secrets.

"I honestly don't know. That's for them to figure out," he said.

Massie accounted for four touchdowns as Staples scored 43 points in the first half and steamrolled to a 57-14 drubbing of Trumbull.

"We just have a lot of different ways to score and that's kind of like what's happening for us," Staples head coach Marce Petroccio said. "And then it's become score management."

Junior Patrick Lesch returned the opening kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown and Staples' offense revved into high gear just moments later.

The Wreckers scored on two of their first three plays from scrimmage, using a 24-yard run scoring run by Joey Zelkowitz and a 76-yard scamper to the end zone from Massie to go up 21-7 with 9:23 left in the first quarter.

"We're a little inexperienced right now, but you can't use that as an excuse," Trumbull head coach Bob Maffei said. "They were just much better than us tonight."

In the first half alone, Massie completed 10-of-13 attempts for 160 yards and connected with wide receiver James Frusciante for touchdown passes of 15 and 24 yards.

Four different Staples players scored touchdowns in the first half, and the Wreckers took a 43-7 lead into halftime.

"I didn't throw that well. Frusciante made me look better than I am today," Massie said. "He's a great wide receiver. But the (offensive) line gives me all the time I need to try and make the throws I hope I can make."

"James is, in my opinion, one of, if not the best receiver in the state of Connecticut," Petroccio said. "When our boy Jack drops back, he knows that that kid is going to get open."

Zelkowitz, who had 42 yards rushing on just five carries in the first half, added a 5-yard touchdown run to make it 29-7 with 2:46 left in the first quarter.

Massie scored on a 53-yard run on the first play of the third quarter to give Staples a 50-7 lead, and finished the evening with 142 yards rushing.

"He's becoming a pretty good option quarterback," Petroccio said. "He's known more for his arm, but I'll tell you what, he can run the football.

One of the lone bright spots for Trumbull came on special teams, as junior Marc Cesare returned a kick 90 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter. He also brought back a kick to Staples' 9-yard line later in the half, but the Eagles failed to score on the drive.
